It's an excellent alternative for rainy days. The staff are very friendly, waiting for you at the entrance and guiding you along all the paths, of which there are several. We were able to satisfy our hunger along the trail and the exhibition is wonderful, with many species that left us amazed.

The variety of fish is incredible, the large aquarium tunnel where you can blend in with all the different species of fish. What impressed me most was the explanation of coral, how it forms, how it is destroyed, how beautiful it is, and how we must protect it. My family had a great time.

I loved the variety of species, especially the aquatic tunnel, which allows you to see everything from a magical perspective. The staff was friendly and everything was very well signposted, which makes the tour very pleasant. It is a perfect plan to enjoy and learn, both for adults and children. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Rio de Janeiro.

I didn't like it; the employees weren't very attentive in explaining things, and I expected it to be bigger.
